Every now and then a church is blessed with a true super-volunteer—and Mark is one of those gifts.

Mark is involved in just about every area of church life. From faithfully caring for our grounds, to serving at the Food Bank, to his leadership on the Elder Board, he gives his time and energy with a joyful, selfless heart.

If you haven't met Mark yet, you're missing out! He brightens every room, always has an encouraging word, and loves people well. It's almost impossible to walk away from a conversation with Mark without a smile.

Next time you see him, be sure to introduce yourself—he loves meeting new people and making new friends.

Here are a few more fun facts about Mark…

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗛𝗖?
10 years, 1 month, and 10 days.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗛𝗖?
Solid preaching, a passion to make disciples, a close-knit community of saints, and devoted brothers and sisters in Christ who love in word and deed.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲?
2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (Okay, it's more than one verse. But these verses are compelling!) - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

There's something powerful about speaking Scripture together as one voice.

Our church has been memorizing Psalm 23 — and our kids led the way, reciting all six verses by heart. It was an unforgettable moment.

The Lord IS our Shepherd. He loves us with an everlasting love. He doesn't just protect us — he restores us, leads us, prepares us, and anoints us for his purposes.

Whatever you're facing today, lean into him. His voice is steady. His plans for you are good. And his promise remains — that you will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Ephesians 2:13–18 reminds us of this beautiful truth:

We were once far off, but now we've been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Jesus didn't just save individuals—He made peace. He tore down walls, reconciled us to God, and formed one new family.

Through Him, we all have access to the Father by one Spirit.
Grace brings us near. Peace holds us together. 🙏
